Happy Graduation!

  Hello TGF friends!! 


I'm on the TGF blog today sharing some graduation cards using the incredible Graduation stamp set (not in stock but you can request it at The Farmers Market). 



June was the month of graduation parties and this year we have so many friends whose kids graduated from high school.  I've been busy making these cards and this set is just the perfect one and my go to stamp set every year for all the graduations!









This year I kept the same design and just used the colors are from each high school.  All images were colored with Copic markers, die cut and raised with foam adhesive. I used a circle scalloped die for the little graduates.  The backgrounds were done with a falling drop stencil and inked with Distress Oxides. I then cut the panels with a stitched border die.  The year was done with die cut numbers.   All materials used are linked below. 

Happy Graduations!! Thanks for stopping by! 

Hugs

There Are No Words...

 Hello Crafty Friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a sympathy card. My girls have been taking care of a neighbors dog, after school, for the past three years. Unfortunately she passed away of old age. I used this sweet image from the True Friend set to create a sympathy card for the family.  The sentiment is from the Deepest Sympathy set.  I have combined these two sets before and I just think they make the perfect heartfelt card for the loss of a fur baby.  



I started by using Distress Oxide ink sprays for the background. I masked half of the card and used a frame die to cut the background and added it to a blue cardstock. 





  I colored the center images with my Copic markers and used a scalloped round die to make it the center focus.  I added a little butterfly to one corner and the sentiment was stamped in black.  




Thanks for stopping by! 

Enjoy the Summer!
